Imaginary Atlas

We tried to create a narrative out of our pavilion proposals and test storytelling methods of where our pavilions are situated, and which more-than-human subjects are actively using them.

The pavilion must have been designed with sustainability in mind, using responsibly sourced materials. The Pavilion's organic form should have been designed to be functional, taking into account seating arrangements, circulation and accessibility

Design a pavilion with organic shapes and first produce a mock-up indicating that it will be built with biomaterials that must be visually striking, functional and sustainable.

By incorporating forms that find their way through the model-making process into the pavilion design, it opens up room for learning-by-making, as well as testing materiality of new subjects. Additionally, using organic shapes allowed the students to think more alternatively in 'critters'(Haraway, 2016) scenarios. However, the emphasis of the course, as apparent in its name, comes from Anna Tsing's project, Feral Atlas.
